@Frank Apisa,
For me it only grates when white people use it.

@eurocelticyankee,
And then there is Jenifer Garner as Elektra.

For some reason, I did not even consider the ass-kicking she was doing.

You know what i've seen PF a few times and yet i don't remember that phrase being used.

Weird.

It was in "The Bonnie Situation".

The Bonnie Situation, including Mr Wolf, is one of my favorite sequences in the film. Largely not because of the lack of concern of having a dead body splattered all over the back of the car, but because "Bonnie's coming home in an hour and a half."





IMO, Bonnie, only seen in a nano glimpse from the back in Jimmy's imagination, is one of, if not the person with the most power to destroy in the entire movie.




I mean, come on. The entire movie is an exercise in suspension of disbelief.

Getting bogged down in the niceties of being offended by a particular word in a Tarantino movie is like going to a hard core porn movie and acting affronted by seeing a dick.

It's a Tarantino film, what did anyone expect?

Would someone go to a David Lynch movie and not expect to see people acting in ways that defy logic? Would you watch Eraserhead and say "A baby couldn't have lived like that, and a tiny woman can't live in a radiator"?

The first time I saw PF, I knew I was really caught up in that reality during the gimp plot.
It was when Marsellus was behind closed doors, and Bruce Willis was coming to save him. The music in the scene, plus the sounds coming from Marsellus made my imagination run wild as to what was happening.

When Willis pushed open the door and the viewer saw what was happening, my first thought was, "Oh man. Thank God he's only getting ass fucked"

What I had imagined, and I'm sure I'm not alone, was so much worse.

Saw Goldfinger for the first time last week.

Turns out whenever other shows or movies parodies the Jame Bond franchise, they are parodying scenes from Goldfinger, particularly the scene where Bond is strapped to a table under a laser beam.

It is an enjoyable flick.

I'm still mildly interested in what he thought was happening...and was relieved that the ONLY thing happening was an ass-*******.

Gotta be something massive.

@Frank Apisa,
I’m a she Frank.

What was I thinking was happening?

Can’t say I remember exactly now. I can’t conjure it up again because when I’ve seen the movie since, I already know.
But whatever it was, it was bad. It was the music man. It made anything possible.

I don’t think white people have any place telling black people whether or not they can use that word. It’s their word, not ours.


Word, Izzy.

I know that, Chai. Not sure how I wrote "he"...but I've gotten a lot older since the last time we "spoke"...and I just screwed up.

Yeah. It musta been a doozy.

The tone in Ving Rhames' voice as he said he was "gonna go medieval" was chilling.

So last week, I decided to watch all 58 films of the Disney Animated Canon by the end of the month. Disney Plus has most of the films, Netflix has a couple. For some reasons unknown, 1946's Make Mine Music is not available to watch digitally.

As of now, I finished all of the films from 1930s to the 1970s.

From what I have seen so far, the best films were clearly from 1950s, with Sleeping Beauty being the best among them.
And there is a noticeable decline in quality a little before and after Walt Disney's death in 1966.

@Rebelofnj,
For me, the three fairies ruined Sleeping Beauty. I was highly disappointed.

@edgarblythe,
So far, I was disappointed with Robin Hood. The voice for the sheriff was offputting, and Little John was basically Baloo from The Jungle Book: same voice actor, same mannerisms, even the same dance.

@Rebelofnj,
To me, the only good in Robin Hood and Jungle Book is some of the music. I consider the art and stories inferior.

@edgarblythe,
Yeah, the art really declined after Sleeping Beauty.

Apparently, with their next film 101 Dalmatians, Disney started using cost effective Xerox printing, which gave their next films sketchy art designs without the clean inking seen in previous films.

It worked fine with Winnie The Pooh due to its storybook artwork, but the others look bland.

I'm looking forward getting to the 90s era when the films overall improved.

@Rebelofnj,
I didn’t like the art in Sleeping Beauty.

Winnie the Pooh was a disaster, something very English Americanised to ****. They did it a lot, the sheriff of Nottingham was a southern sheriff and the fruit mentioned in the song Bare Necessities isn’t Indian at all, it’s all North American.

Winnie the Pooh was the worst of all, as bad as Dick Van Dyke’s accent in Mary Poppins.

@izzythepush,
I guess I'm used to Winnie the Pooh's voice, as I watched the old animated series from the 1980s and the voice is basically the same.

However, it was very obvious that Christopher Robin had a different voice actor in each segment of the 1977 film, going from an American accent to British.

I used to collect (buy & sell) animation cels. Gave it up a few years back but still have a nice little collection, a lot from the old Sullivan and Bluth studios.

Any of you animation connoisseurs do the same?.

@Rebelofnj,
You’re not English, it’s not likely to piss you off.

Disney’s Winnie the Pooh is American, there’s nothing remotely English about it.

It’s like Jane Fonda’s last film Arseholes in the Night.
